Condolences to his family and all his friends. Another LEGEND, lost. Letting it sink in. He will always be synonymous with the early Citadel days & memories of the hobby in my youth. His sculpts always characterful. Picked up his (DL2) Hobgoblin Shaman only earlier this year, some +42 years late!

Oh... I haven't checked his blog in a couple of months but.. damn..
I did a quick check on Trish's page to see if she has said anything yet.. I'm not sure what happened between them but they did appear to still be on speaking terms (not really my place to know or ask what. They were married. They worked together, then they weren't married. That's kinda as far as my business goes) so we might expect something in a few days.

Damn.. I just checked Aly's blog.. his last post (about 2 weeks ago) is kinda.. very depressing now

That's really sad. I must double down and crack on with the giant now. 😭

His last blog entry suggests a deteriorating health situation. Sad news indeed.

Very sorry to hear it. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

What a terrible year.
I was hoping for Jordan Sorcery or Filmdeg to interview him one day. Wondered why he wasn't present in Talking Miniatures (Trish made much more than filling this gap).
He and Trish made me understand and "feel" miniatures and opened a world for me. They were the first designers I even ever heard of by reading late 80s WDs. Marauder was a blessing when I finally found a few of their minis in my comic shop.
Condolences to the family and friends from a plain and distant consumer and fan of his artistry.

Yeah, Jordan Sorcery was one of the first to announce it on his bluesky social.

Yes, I have one of his 40K guard in my paint queue for a project.

Sad news… 😢
Great sculptor, heart goes out to his family and friends.
Trish has posted prompting tributes from great & good in the industry

Some great memories & sentiments in those tributes. Echoing one of the comments there- 'it feels like an age is passing'. And it certainly has been a year of reflection...

He seemed like a top bloke & sculpted a hell of a lot of figures including many personal favourites e.g Talisman, a chunk of the AD&D licensed range.
As mentioned elsewhere, perhaps we should do a themed painting month in his honour. Splash paint on one of his sculpts in JanuAly?

I see Jan Gradoń posted a link in those comments to their recent interview with Ali (also the Perrys and Rick) from just a couple of weeks ago.
